Apple Oat No Bake Bites
It's happened, my 3.5 yr old has become quite a fussy little eater. So when it comes to filling lunchboxes its all about balls balls balls.
These apple oat no-bake bites are a relatively new addition to my ball rotation, but based on the fact my little miss gobbled 5 during the photoshoot alone I think we can safely say they will be a regular.
Thus far I have not attempted these apple oat no-bake bites as nut-free, that will be my next project. I suspect they will work with sunflower seeds. But I have tried them with both peanut butter and almond butter. I make them with peanut butter more often as it is so much cheaper than almond butter. But the almond version was scrummy.
To make this recipe nut-free tahini can be used, I find the hulled tahini works best in this recipe as it's flavour is not as strong.
These apple oat no-bake bites (if suggested substitutions are made) are part of my allergy-friendly recipe collection, these recipes are free from the top 8 food allergens: Dairy, wheat, egg, soy, peanut, tree nuts, fish & crustaceans

These are super easy and tasty, the only problem I have is not eating them all before my son can have some ? I added some chocolate chips to a few at the end too and those are great as well!!

Can you tell me if the amount in parentheses is US cups? It seems off that 150g is half a cup and 300 is 3 cups. Thanks!
yes it is cups. In nz our cups are 250ml which I think is the same as the USA. Peanut butter is far denser than rolled oats which is why it weighs so much more compared to the oats.

I love them and so do my grandchildren, only problem is they only last a short time ?, but its great fun making them.
Could you please tell me how much 250ml of apple is in US cups, and by apple puree, do you mean apple sauce? If cooked apple, could you explain how you cook apple(s), how many and if peeled or unpeeled? I'd really like to make these but unsure about the apple ingredient. Thanks!
For us in New Zealand, a Cup is 250ml, is it the same in the USA? I use one cup. To make my apple puree I peek apples, pop them in a pot with a little water and cook until tender, Then drain remaining water and blitz.

I'm wondering if you could use apple sauce instead of puree, or would that be too watery?

It will depend on the apple sauce, I have used canned apple sauce that worked as it was a thick one, ie little added water and it had no added sugar.

These look right up my alley - few ingredients, healthy and simple 🙂
I made these but realized at the end I only had half the required oats and only had instant oats- what can I do now with these squidgy balls?
Could we use dates instead of rasains?
Yes absolutely. depending on the power of your food processor you may need to soak them first.
Hi Stacey
Sorry to bother but my 2 boys attend a nut-free daycare. Is there an ingredient i can use to replace peanut butter.
Thank you
You could sub peanut butter for sunflower butter
Hi is there a way to make these with porridge oats instead of rolled oats? Just realised that's all I have!
yes any rolled oats or porridge oats are totally fine
Hi there! I plan on making these as a cooking center for 2st graders. Can I skip the food processor and let the kids mix with wooden spoons and hands? Thanks!
Can I use a blender instead of a food processor?
Depending on your blender it should be fine!
Hi we have a peanut allergy. Could the peanut butter be substituted for almond butter or another nut butter?
Absolutely any nut butter or sunflower seed butter.
